Turnstiles & Pedestrian Barriers
Controlled one-person passage and accessible wider lanes for staffed or electronic entrances.
Every day of the year support for selection, commissioning, operation and service
What this system does
A configuration for the real operating conditions.
Pedestrian barriers help apply access rules without making the entrance confusing. TekRabbits chooses between tripod, full-height, flap and wide swing lanes based on throughput, supervision, accessibility and evacuation strategy. RFID, biometric, face or QR readers can be considered as part of the wider access system.
TekRabbits reviews the site and recommends a system with the necessary controls, protection and manual procedures. Final capacities, options and interfaces are confirmed in the quotation for your installation.
Available configurations
Choose the form that fits the job.
Bridge tripod turnstile
A longer-body tripod design that can provide a more substantial lane enclosure.
Ask about this configurationFull-height turnstile
A perimeter-oriented pedestrian barrier for sites requiring a taller, more controlled passage.
Ask about this configurationFlap barrier
Retracting flaps support higher-throughput pedestrian access with obstruction sensors.
Ask about this configurationWide passage swing barrier
A wider controlled lane for wheelchair access, deliveries or large items alongside standard pedestrian lanes.
Ask about this configurationLanes for different levels of control
The lane format should match the people using it.
A compact tripod lane, a taller perimeter turnstile and an accessible passage solve different circulation needs. Entry readers are only one part of a safe pedestrian route.
Specification guide
What we check before recommending a system.
The questions below shape capacity, installation effort, controls and safety. A short site survey or clear photographs and dimensions can resolve many of them before the quotation.
- Estimate people per minute and peak queue length.
- Provide an accessible route and define emergency release behaviour.
- Plan reader type, attendance integration and operator oversight.
Plan the whole pedestrian entry
Throughput, access and evacuation belong together.
Count peak arrivals
Estimate people per minute, queue length, visitor flow and the need for a wheelchair or goods lane.
Choose passage type
Compare tripod, flap, full-height and wide swing barriers with the supervision and security policy.
Verify readers and release
Test credential decisions, directional cues, obstruction sensing and emergency-release behaviour.
Maintain the lane
Review moving arms or flaps, reader alignment, safety sensors and attendance integration during routine care.
TekRabbits support
Every day of the year. The whole system.
Our support covers product selection, installation coordination, commissioning, user guidance, maintenance planning, spare parts and fault diagnosis. We agree any project-specific response and service terms before deployment.

Turnstiles & Pedestrian Barriers: common questions
Specific answers about configurations, site preparation, safety and support for turnstiles & pedestrian barriers.
Ask about your siteWhat configurations of turnstiles & pedestrian barriers are available?
The TekRabbits range covers Vertical tripod turnstile, Bridge tripod turnstile, Full-height turnstile, Flap barrier, Wide passage swing barrier. We narrow the choice using the site conditions and confirm the exact capacity and options in the proposal.
How do Vertical tripod turnstile and Bridge tripod turnstile differ?
A compact access lane for offices, education and venues; manual and automated configurations are available. A longer-body tripod design that can provide a more substantial lane enclosure. We compare the actual operating duty, installation geometry and controls before recommending one.
What measurements are needed before choosing turnstiles & pedestrian barriers?
Estimate people per minute and peak queue length. Measurements let us check capacity and fit instead of guessing from a product name.
Which operating conditions affect the recommendation?
Provide an accessible route and define emergency release behaviour. Tell us about peak use and any unusual environment so the equipment and controls fit daily operation.
What should be planned for safety and abnormal operation?
Plan reader type, attendance integration and operator oversight. We agree the protective devices and manual procedure for the installed configuration before commissioning.
Can this system connect to other controls?
Compatible card, QR, face or visitor-management readers can authorise passage through a turnstile or pedestrian barrier. We define the reader-to-controller signal, anti-tailgating response and emergency release before integration.
Can this be added to an existing site?
Often. A retrofit needs enough clear pedestrian width, a firm mounting base, power and network routes, and an accessible alternative for people who cannot use the barrier. Fire and emergency egress behaviour must be agreed for the site.
What maintenance should the system receive?
Inspect arms or glass leaves, drive and locking action, sensing, reader feedback and the emergency release. Test the free-exit condition and record any fault or repeated denial of passage.
Does support every day of the year end after the first year?
No. “Every day of the year” describes when the TekRabbits support route is available, rather than a one-year after-sales term. On-site attendance, parts and response targets are set in the project agreement.
How do I request a recommendation for turnstiles & pedestrian barriers?
Use the Automation Services enquiry page. Share site location, dimensions, expected use, existing equipment and your preferred timeline. The selected product family is carried into the form.
Ready to specify turnstiles & pedestrian barriers?
